Wales star compared to WWE legend Ric Flair after being kicked in the HEAD during Nations League match in Turkey

WALES striker Kieffer Moore received a brutal kick to the head during Friday night’s 0-0 draw against Turkey.

The 32-year-old Sheffield United striker was kicked in the face by former Leicester defender Caglar Soyuncu as they fought for the ball.

He was bandaged around his forehead and continued playing, only coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute.

The 28-year-old Soyuncu, who had already received a yellow card, avoided a second yellow card for the incident.

And Wales fans were quick to show their admiration for Moore, who has suffered several head injuries playing for his country.

One of them said: “Kieffer Moore proves once again that his head appears to be made of a mixture of tungsten, steel, chrome and titanium.”

While another added: “Should add a ‘KM head injury’ to the bet.”

And a third replied: “No player has shed more blood for his country than Kieffer Moore. He’s like f***** Ric Flair.”

WWE legend Flair, 75, was often seen with blood coming from his head during his wrestling career.

The comparison was a nod to Moore’s dedication to playing for Wales, once again putting his body on the line.

Moore scored 12 goals in 44 games for The Dragons.

Wales played the last half hour against Turkey with an extra man after Baris Alper Yilmaz received his second yellow card.

But they failed to make a breakthrough at Cardiff as Craig Bellamy’s first game as manager ended in a draw.

After the game, Bellamy said: “(The players were) excellent. We’ve done a lot of work this week. There’s been a lot of meetings and I’m always aware that a lot of information goes to the players in a short space of time.

“But they were great this week and that gives you confidence. Trust me, this is the worst we’re going to be. The more we learn, the more we spend together, the finer the details become.

“It’s a good start, but this team can achieve so much more.

“I’m not a master of this after one game, believe me. But I enjoyed it. It was a great country to play against in your first game and I’m very happy with it.”
